I was blown away, what could I say?
It all seemed to make sense
You've taken away everything
And I can't deal without, I try to see the good in life
But good things in life are hard to find
We'll blow it away, blow it away
Can we make this something good?
Well, I'll try to do it right this time around
Let's start over
I'll try to do it right this time around
It's not over
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground
This love is killing me, but you're the only one
It's not over
Taken all I could take, and I can not wait
We're wasting too much time
Being strong, holding on
Can't let it bring us down
My life with you means everything
So I won't give up that easily
I'll blow it away, blow it away
Can we make this something good?
'Cause it's all misunderstood
Well, I'll try to do it right this time around
Let's start over
I'll try to do it right this time around
It's not over
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground
This love is killing me, but you're the only one
It's not over
We can't let this get away
Let it out, let it out
Don't get caught up in yourself
Let it out
Let's start over
I'll try to do it right this time around
It's not over
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground
This love is killing me, but you're the only one
It's not over
Let's start over
It's not over, yeah, yeah
This love is killing me, but you're the only one
It's not over
It all seemed to make sense
You've taken away everything
And I can't deal without, I try to see the good in life
But good things in life are hard to find
We'll blow it away, blow it away
Can we make this something good?
Well, I'll try to do it right this time around
Let's start over
I'll try to do it right this time around
It's not over
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground
This love is killing me, but you're the only one
It's not over
Taken all I could take, and I can not wait
We're wasting too much time
Being strong, holding on
Can't let it bring us down
My life with you means everything
So I won't give up that easily
I'll blow it away, blow it away
Can we make this something good?
'Cause it's all misunderstood
Well, I'll try to do it right this time around
Let's start over
I'll try to do it right this time around
It's not over
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground
This love is killing me, but you're the only one
It's not over
We can't let this get away
Let it out, let it out
Don't get caught up in yourself
Let it out
Let's start over
I'll try to do it right this time around
It's not over
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground
This love is killing me, but you're the only one
It's not over
Let's start over
It's not over, yeah, yeah
This love is killing me, but you're the only one
It's not over

what kind of fucking moron wrote these lyrics?
The first stanza begins with a heartfelt plea to the woman he loves, marked by the holding of her hand and his eyes set firmly on the hanging cross in the car (0:37) which I interpret as faith. "I was blown away" - "it all seemed to make sense" - "you've taken away" - "and I cant do without".
"I was blown away, what could I say?
It all seemed to make sense
You've taken away everything
And I can't do without, I try to see the good in life
But good things in life are hard to find"
He wants her to know that he understands what tore them apart, and he realizes that no matter what, he can't go on without her in his life. After all, good things are really hard to find, and he found everything good in this world inside of her.
The chorus ends up being a repetative description of his love, showing her that he has done everything in his power to build his life around her. He wants to start over, understanding that life lacks meaning without his best friend. This love is the only thing he really feels, what brings him to life and she is the only one who can give him the light he needs. so no matter what she says, it's not over.
"Well, I tried to do it right this time around
Let's start over
I tried to do it right this time around
it's not over
There's a part of me that's dead and in the ground
This love is killing me
but you're the only one
it's not over"
The second stanza reveals the heartache he lives with - having to watch the clock, so to speak. As he continues to miss the most important moments in life. He conveys the pain that weighs him down in having to put on this fake smile, remain strong and hold on hoping that he could make it back to her. Again, this means everything to him; and no matter what she says, he is dedicated to her and her alone.
"Taken all I could take, and I can not wait
We're wasting too much time
Being strong, holding on
Can't let it bring us down
My life with you means everything
So I won't give up that easily
Blow it away, blow it away
Can we make this something good?
'Cause it's all misunderstood"
The final stanza is his heartfelt plea for her to trust him - let go of her ego, let go of her doubt, let go of her fear of the unknown. Let it out, trust in me, because I'm holding on for you.
"We can't let this get away
Let it out, let it out
Don't get caught up in yourself, let it out"
"Let's start over
I tried to do it right this time around, it's not over
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground
This love is killing me, but you're the only one
It's not over, let's start over
It's not over, oh yeah, yeah!
This love is killing me, but you're the only one,
it's not over"
I feel this song takes a particular meaning in my life. I didn't actually do anything wrong, but lies and deceit took my family away from me - destroying everything I had. I face the hardship of rebuilding my life for the one woman I love and cherish, and our kids that I yearn to be next to. Like the message in this song, no matter what she says or does. It's not over.

I first heard this when he performed on Ellen, and I immediately checked out myspace to hear it and I haven't stopped listening to it since!
The song is self explanitory. It's about second chances. This type of song is perfect for him. His new album is really good, and I would recommend it to anyone!
Chris is great.
